Christmas Bird Count
By Kimberley Roll
Kimberley Roll and her husband Jeff and friend Greg McCallister participated in the SANJO CBC (Southern Adams Northern Jay Ouabache Christmas Bird Count) on January 1. Their territory was the Loblolly Marsh Nature Preserve.
January 1 was a mild day with temperatures in the 40s F but there was fog in the morning and rain by 11:00 am. These are her photos of some of the birds that Kimberley captured with her camera. Field counters are dedicated people who go out every year for the CBC in all kinds of weather to document the birds that are seen in this area.
